fileLoader.mll (Pre-Release for Maya 6.0.x only)

When we were working on "Monstertruckdriver" and later on "A Million Brothers" I wished I had a plug-in to import all those images and put them on correctly sized planes. When I started looking at the maya-API I realized this is not that hard to accomplish and created this neat little tool. UPDATE: For "Nuclear Sunset" I created a mel script with the same functionality which is easier to customize and has more features, so this plug-in is only here for nostalgic reasons, I recommend using texturePlaneLoader from the scripts section instead!

Usage: Run fileLoader from the command line and browse to the desired image file.
